Cops are more likely to commit suicide than they are likely to be killed in the line of duty.

Thats surprising

There have been a few in the neighborhood. All the stress that comes with dealing with violence.

I worked with one years ago that did that. Her husband told her he was leaving her and she shot him and then turned the gun on herself.

It was shocking as she always seemed so even keeled at work.

I couldn't do that job. Forget about any of the dangers of the job for a minute; just dealing with all sorts of people at their worst moments would stress me to no end....

I agree that it's not just the dangers of the job itself (after all, the line of duty deaths are pretty low), but rather the marital or family stresses and/or substance abuse that often comes with the territory. And then throw in the lack of respect for your profession due to the recent spate of high profile bad apples.

Maybe, they just figure it’s better to off themselves rather than wait for some thug to do it?

Who knows?

Good.

Why wait around like an idiot to die? Be proactive and kill yourself now!

Ah ... I see you received my latest newsletter.

I think for this year alone the ratio 5:1 Suicide to Killed in the line of duty

Man , based on that I hate to see what the truck driver rate must be .

Truck drivers don't off themselves because they're not pussies.

So people who commit suicide are pussies ? Not very woke of you bruh .

It is actually pretty close.

Imagine being a correctional officer and someone throws piss or shit at you? Because the inmates know where the cameras are they'll strike in a way you won't be able to retaliate the proper way without losing your job.
